BIZARRO JESUS

If you’ve been wondering when the Antichrist will arrive on Earth you can wonder no more. Jose Luis de Jesus, the leader of thousands of followers in the “Creciendo en Gracia” church has the number 666 tattooed on his arm and has declared himself to be the Antichrist who has come to “replace Jesus on Earth.” But, according to de Jesus, this is actually a good thing, as the number 666 and the Antichrist are not evil but simply misunderstood. “Antichrist is the best person in the world,” says the church leader, who announced that he was the reincarnation of the Apostle Paul in 1988, then dubbed himself “The Other” in 1999, then claimed to be Jesus Christ himself in 2004, and finally, now, has admitted that he is actually the Antichrist. De Jesus, 61, first says that he first learned that he was Jesus reincarnate when angels came to him in a dream. Since then, his small cult has turned into a massive, lucrative church with members in over 30 countries. (CNN)
